Taiwan's Lin Yun-ju captured the men's singles crown at WTT Champions Doha, defeating South Korea's Jang Woojin in straight games 11-7, 11-9, 11-9, 13-11 in a 41-minute final on January 12. The victory ends a more-than-two-year singles title drought for the 24-year-old and returns him to the top of big-event podiums. The fourth game stretched into extra points before Lin closed it out 13-11, showing composure in a tense finish that decided the match without a fifth game. The win carries clear tangible rewards: Lin takes home US$40,000 in prize money and 1,000 WTT ranking points. The title is his first men’s singles trophy at a WTT event since November 2023, when he last won at WTT Champions Frankfurt, making this a notable career rebound.
